On a beautiful sunny day, a group of enthusiastic golfers gathered at the green golf course de Turfvaert in Rijsbergen for the SEM Foundation Charity golf tournament. The SEM Foundation golf tournament was not only a great day full of sporting challenges but this year also had the goal of raising funds for the community center in Peru with which the SEM Foundation had started a project last year. Thanks to the efforts of the participants and generous sponsors, a whopping €25,134 was raised.
Last year, the SEM Foundation, in partnership with Wereldouders, launched an initiative to renovate a community center in Peru. A year later, we researched the current needs within the community. This research showed that there was a great demand for professional support in the area of social-emotional development and family strengthening. Therefore, the amount raised will be used to hire a psychologist and social worker, who can develop new programs to meet these needs. With the appointment of a psychologist and social worker, the community center in Peru will be able to provide even better support to the local population.
Thanks to the contribution of all sponsors and participants, the community center in Peru can continue to grow and develop. It is an important step towards a better future for the local population, where social-emotional development and family strengthening are central. The SEM Foundation is proud of the results achieved and looks forward to the implementation of the new programs.
Once again, the SEM Foundation thanks all participants and sponsors for their support and commitment. Together they have made a difference and shown that communities worldwide are connected. The success of the golf tournament gives hope and strength to those in need.
